Artie & Mai | 340 Sandgate Road, ALBION QLD 4010
A
few weeks ago the bunnie family made a quick stopover at Artie &
Mai to have breakfast before heading to a 1st birthday party. We
picked Artie & Mai because for a while there, my instagram was
bombarded with alluring food photos from this cafe.
Artie
& Mai occupies the space that once was Stockholm Syndrome which
we visited back in 2012, for breakfast as well. From memory the
breakfast surpassed our expectation and I had high hopes for
Artie & Mai.
We
started off with a lemon iced tea and a freshly squeezed juice, both
were yummy. Unfortunately the breakfast dishes failed to
impress us. I really liked the sound of the banana
french toast w' salted caramel, tomato jam, candied bacon
ice-cream ($17)
and as for the other travel bunnie, he decided to have something
savoury and ordered the sautéed
mushrooms, poached egg, pecorino, truffle oil on sourdough($17).
While the mushroom dish had a nice rustic touch, the banana french
toast looked uninspiring and the clamps of icing sugar certainly
didn't help. The french toast tasted overly sweet and it
was rather disappointing that I couldn't taste any saltiness in the
rich caramel sauce. Half way through the meal, the other travel
bunnie was kind enough to swap his dish with mine. I was definitely
grateful for the gesture as the mushrooms were delicious.
Despite
the fact that we would like to return to Artie & Mai to try out
their dinner before we completely cross it out of our list, I can't
see us going back there any time soon.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $45.00
